Difference Between EBM and ECM

Non-traditional machining processes can directly utilize various forms of energy to remove material from in workpiece. For example, AJM, USM, WJM and AWJM processes are based on mechanical energy; CHM is based on chemical energy; ECM is based on electrochemical energy; and EDM, LBM, PAM and EBM are based on thermal energy. Since Electron Beam Machining (EBM) is one thermal energy based process, so here material is removed by melting

Differences between EDG and ECG

Electric Discharge Grinding (EDG) is one thermal energy based non-traditional machining process that has apparent similarity in construction with the conventional grinding process. In EDG, a disc type metallic wheel is rotated about a fixed axis maintaining a small gap with the workpiece. The conductive wheel is given negative polarity, while the conductive workpiece is given positive polarity. The gap between wheel and workpiece is immersed with a suitable dielectric

Difference Between CHM and ECM - Chemical & Electrochemical Machining

Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) processes employ different forms of energy in their direct form to removal material from the workpiece. Such energy forms include mechanical energy (AJM, AWJM, USM), chemical energy (CHM), electro-chemical energy (ECM), thermal energy (EDM, LBM, EBM, PAM), etc. The mechanism of material removal also varies accordingly. As the name suggests, chemical machining employs an appropriate chemical solution to etch away material from work surface. Such chemical solution

Difference Between Dielectric and Electrolyte

In electro-discharge machining (EDM), spark generated between the conductive tool electrode and the conductive workpiece melts and vaporizes the workpiece to realize material removal. A small gap is maintained in between the tool and workpiece and an appropriate dielectric fluid is applied in this gap. Dielectric is basically a liquid that can suddenly breakdown once a particular potential difference is applied across it. Before breakdown, it acts as insulator; whereas

Difference Between EDM and ECM - Electro-Discharge & Electro-Chemical Machining

Unlike conventional metal cutting processes, non-traditional machining (NTM) processes can directly employ different forms of energy for controlled removal of material from the workpiece to impart desired shape, size and finish. Electro-Discharge Machining (EDM) is one thermal energy based process where material is removed by localized melting and vaporization. Intense heat is generated by means of electric sparks. Here the tool made of conductive material is made one electrode (cathode),
